Calibration solutions

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

Calibration solutions are reference materials used to verify and validate the accuracy and precision of analytical instruments and equipment in laboratory settings. These solutions are designed to provide a known concentration of specific analytes, allowing for the calibration and performance assessment of a wide range of laboratory instruments, such as pH meters, spectrophotometers, and ion-selective electrodes.

High-resolution LC-MS analysis was performed on a Dionex 3000 UPLC system coupled with a Thermo Q Exactive high-resolution mass spectrometer as described previously10 (link),46 (link). Metabolite extracts were separated using a water-acetonitrile gradient using Agilent ZORBOX Eclispse XDB-C18 rapid resolution column (2.1 × 150 mm, particle size 1.8-micron) maintained at 40 °C. Solvent A: 0.1% formic acid in water; Solvent B: 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile. A/B gradient started at 5% B for 1.5 min after injection and increased linearly to 100% B at 12.5 min, using a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. Mass spectrometer parameters: spray voltage 2.9 kV; capillary temperature 320 °C; prober heater temperature 300 °C; sheath, auxiliary, and spare gas 70, 2, and 0, respectively; S-lens RF level S5, resolution 140,000 at m/z 200, AGC target 1 × 106. The instrument was calibrated in negative and positive modes with m/z range from 200 to 1000 using calibration solutions (Thermo-Fisher). Ascarosides were detected in negative ionization mode as [M-H]- and MS/MS spectra and retention times confirmed by comparison with known standards.

UHPLC-MS for Lipid Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples and standards were stored at − 20 °C until they could be analyzed. A Dionex UltiMate 3000RS ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) (Sunnyvale, CA) system was used in conjunction with a Kinetex HILIC column (100 Å 2.6 μm 150 mm × 2.1 mm, Phenomenex, Torrance, CA) to separate lipid compounds for both the targeted and untargeted analysis. A 10 μL injection of sample was injected using a Dionex UltiMate 3000 RS autosampler kept at 4 °C. The syringe and fluidics were washed twice with 150 μL of 50:50 (v/v) water:2-propanol. All chromatographic conditions were controlled by Chromeleon Xpress version 6.80 and all mass spectrometric conditions were controlled by Xcalibur version 4.0. Mass calibration was performed every 24 h in positive and negative mode using calibration solutions from Thermo Scientific (Waltham, MA).

Ultrapure grade water was purchased from EMD Millipore, and analytical grade formic acid, methanol, acetonitrile, and dimethylsulfoxid were from Fisher Scientific. Calibration solutions were from Thermo Scientific. Deuterated standards were purchased from Cambridge Isotope Laboratories (CIL), Buchem, or Acros Organics as follows: 3-hydroxy-DL-kynurenine (5,8,8-D3, 98% purity, Buchem) and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid (4,6-D2, 98% purity, Buchem), anthranilic acid (3,4,5,6-D4, 98% purity, Buchem), Dl-glutamic acid (2,4,4-D3, 98% purity, CIL), fumaric acid (2,3-D2, 98% purity, CIL), kynurenic acid (3,4,6,7,8-D5, 98% purity, Buchem), kynurenine (D4, 98% purity, Buchem), L-tryptophan (indole-D5, 98% purity, CIL) nicotinic acid (D4, 98% purity, CIL), picolinic acid (99% purity, Acros), and quinolinic acid (4,5,6-D3, 99% purity, Buchem).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
